Composition Of Cultured Stone

Cultured Stone, also known as Cast Stone, is defined as "a refined architectural concrete building unit manufactured to simulate natural cut stone for unit masonry applications".

In the UK and Europe, cast stone is defined as "any material manufactured with aggregate and cementitious binder, similar in appearance and usable in a similar manner to natural stone". Cast stone is a masonry product used as a building feature, ornament, decoration or facing of a building or other structure, or can be used as a garden feature. Cast stone can be made of white and/or grey cement, manufactured or natural sand, carefully selected crushed stone or well-graded natural gravel and mineral pigments to achieve the desired color and appearance while maintaining durable physical properties exceeding most natural cut stone. Cast stone is an excellent substitute for naturally cut limestone, brownstone, sandstone, bluestone, granite, slate, coral rock, limestone and other natural stones.

Natural Cultured Stone
It is a stone deposit mined from nature, including slate, sandstone, quartz, which is processed to become a decorative building material. Natural cultural stone is hard, bright in color, rich in texture and different in style. It has the advantages of pressure resistance, wear resistance, fire resistance, cold resistance, corrosion resistance and low water absorption. The main feature of natural cultural stone is durability, no fear of dirt and can be scrubbed unlimited times. However, the decorative effect is limited by the original texture of the stone. Except for square stone, other construction is more difficult, especially when splicing.
Artificial cultural stone
Artificial cultural stone is made of pumice, ceramsite, calcium silicate and other materials through professional processing and refinement. The technology is used to upgrade and reproduce the texture, color and texture of each naturally formed stone in an artificial way, and the effect is full of original, natural and simple charm. High-end artificial cultural stone has the characteristics of environmental protection and energy saving, light texture, rich colors, mildew resistance, non-flammability, good anti-thaw and frost resistance, and easy installation.
The classification of cultural stone is generally similar, generally including strip stone, bread stone, wall stone, weathered stone, cobblestone, mixed texture stone, antique brick, etc.
